Letter from the President and CEO
Centre of Newton Phase II, LEED Platinum | Owner: Centre of Newton Property Inc. c/o Value Property Group | Architect: Chandler Associates Architecture Inc.
www.cagbc.org
In 2014 our organization made a number of significant
advancements as we continued to push the needle
toward wider adoption of green building practices in
Canada.
As part of our 2014-2016 Strategic Plan “Innovation and
Change to Make Every Building Greener,” we expanded
our vision by starting to look beyond the operational and
environmental benefits of green buildings. Health and
well-being of building occupants emerged as an important
issue and as a significant change in the next version of
the LEED rating system. LEED version 4
is designed to drive the industry toward
higher building performance particularly
on materials and health. To this end, the
CaGBC officially launched the LEED v4
Canadian Alternative Compliance Paths
(ACPs), along with additional tools and
support. The ACPs will ease the transition
of the Canadian market to LEED v4.
To support the important changes in
how the industry approaches materials
and health, the CaGBC held the first-ever
Materials Summit in 2014. This educational
event brought together industry leaders
to discuss how building materials and products impact
human health and the environment. The Materials Summit
kicked off three days of education and networking at
Building Lasting Change in Toronto, our most successful
conference to date with over 1000 attendees and a strong
international contingent with delegations from 13 countries.
Continuous improvement of green building practices and
strengthening the “business of building green” to support
market growth and promoting associated benefits are
cornerstones of our 2014-2016 Strategic Plan.
The CaGBC delivered its first Canadian green building
industry research report - Canada Green Building Trends:
Benefits Driving the New and Retrofit Market. This CaGBC-
McGraw Hill report confirmed that the business case and the
economic opportunities for green buildings in Canada are
strong. Increased industry demand and investment in green
buildings is predicted over the next three years, consistent
with global green building trends. The report also showed
that the Canadian market recognizes the importance of taking
a rigorous approach to verifying building performance as
it sets the stage for realizing the financial, environmental
and health benefits of green buildings over their lifecycle.
The report was the initial step toward CaGBC’s commitment
to support the industry through green building market
research, and validated the growing success of LEED and
green building in Canada. In 2014, CaGBC reached two
significant milestones: 2,000 certified projects, and 5,000
registered projects of every building and owner type across
the country. LEED is not only the standard of choice for
the building industry in Canada but is also becoming core
business for many building owners, developers and prac-
titioners. Canada is now recognized globally as a leader
in green building with the largest uptake of LEED outside
the US.
In November 2013, the CaGBC and its
Chapters agreed that, in order to fully
engage the Canadian market and maxi-
mize its impact across the Country, the
governance and organizational structures
needed to be revised. Perhaps the most
transformational effort in 2014 focused
on designing a nationwide model that
would integrate CaGBC National and
Chapters to provide enhanced programs
and services to the industry.
Throughout 2014, CaGBC National and
Chapter Boards and staff worked together in an open and
transparent process to develop an integrated nationwide
organizational model. This proposed model was approved
by Chapter boards in early 2015 and will be taken to Chapter
members for final approval. An integrated nationwide orga-
nization will be better positioned to support the continued
growth of the green building market, strengthen the influ-
ence of the green building movement, and better engage
and service our stakeholders, members, and the industry
at large. It will also sustain a more organized response to
climate change and other environmental issues associated
with the built environment.
As we push ahead and strive for greater impact, innovation
and higher levels of building performance, it is important
to remember that continued success is dependent on our
stakeholders, members, supporters and volunteers, who
have been instrumental in driving the transformation of
Canada’s buildings, neighbourhoods and cities.

5Canada Green Building Council Annual Report 2014www.cagbc.org
The Canada Green Building Council is a national,
not-for-profit organization that is dedicated to
advancing green building and sustainable community
development practices in Canada. Since 2002, together
with our members and stakeholders, we have worked to
change the way buildings are designed, built and operated.
Canada is home to the second highest number of LEED
certified buildings in the world and is recognized as a
global leader in green building.
Membership The composition of CaGBC’s member base demonstrates
the diverse nature of the Canadian green building industry.
We have representation from professional engineering,
design and architecture firms, government and commercial
real estate owners, property managers, tenants, academia,
construction companies and manufacturers. In 2014,
the CaGBC recognized the need to simplify national
membership. We created two membership categories,
Green Building Specialists (those who benefit from the
LEED green building rating system directly) and Green
Building Advocates (those who support the movement
through membership with the CaGBC). We streamlined the
structure and are now able to better tailor our benefits to
meet member needs. This new structure came into effect
on January 1, 2015.
Professional Firms(51 %) – 822
Real Estate, managers,
owners and tenants
(9 %) – 138
Retail, construction and products (31 %) – 502
Utilities(1 %) – 14
Academia, research and policy (4 %) – 62
Financial and Support Services (1 %) – 6Non-Profit organizations and industry associations(3 %) – 54

ENERGY SAVINGS Energy savings of 4,230,206 eMWh which is enough to power 143,533 homes in Canada for a full year.
REDUCTION IN GREENHOUSE GASESA 822,731 CO
2e tonne reduction
in greenhouse gas emissions which equates to taking 155,526 cars off the road for a year.
WATER SAVINGS Water savings totalling over 8.7 billion litres, the equivalent of 3,505 Olympic-sized swimming pools.
RECYCLING GARBAGE Recycling over 1.1 million tonnes of construction/demolition waste which represents 348,691 garbage truck loads.
REDUCING URBAN HEAT Installing 157,309 sq metres of green roofs, or an area the size of 104 NHL hockey rinks, to reduce the urban heat island effect and mitigate storm water flows in urban areas.

Chapter NetworkThe work of our regional Chapters is critical to the achieve-
ment of the CaGBC’s mission. With over 2,500 individual
members across the country, the Chapters, their members
and dedicated volunteer network educate and advocate
on a grassroots level to transform Canadian communities.
GovernanceThe restructuring of the CaGBC Board in 2013 increased
the organization’s capacity and effectiveness in executing
strategy and advancing its mission. As a second step in
restructuring CaGBC, National and Chapters worked to-
gether in 2014 to design a new nationwide model to more
effectively extend the organization’s reach and maximize
its mission impact. As a result of an extensive consultation
and consensus building process with Board members and
the staff of National and Chapters, the proposed model
is more agile, cohesive and financially viable with a more
streamlined allocation of resources. It will ensure relevance
and responsiveness to the local needs and interests of our
stakeholders in communities across Canada. Final approval
of the nationwide model by Chapter members will take
place in 2015.

The CaGBC holds the license for the Leadership in
Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating
system in Canada. Regarded as the international
benchmark for green building in 156 countries, the impact
of LEED can be seen around the world.
LEED continues to thrive in Canada with the introduction
of the next version of LEED and enhancements to the
certification process. In 2014, the LEED v4 Alternative
Compliance Paths and Regional Priority Credits were
launched, offering Canadian project teams the flexibility
required to use the latest version of the LEED rating system.
Notable improvements were also made in streamlining
certification, including the introduction of an expedited
review option and the launch of a re-submittal policy to
ensure project teams respond to certification reviews in a
timely manner. As a result of the measures taken in the last
two years and the hiring of additional staff, CaGBC ended
the year well positioned to meet certification timelines.
Building Lasting Change 2014, our annual conference and
expo, served as a platform for providing education about
LEED v4, including a Materials in LEED v4 workshop. In
addition, numerous webinars on LEED v4 were held over
the course of the year.

Canada Coalition for Green SchoolsThe CaGBC joined the Global Coalition for Green Schools
as a founding member in 2013 and formed The Canada
Coalition for Green Schools in 2014. The Canada Coalition
is comprised of members of the green building industry
who are contributing their time and expertise to support
the transformation of schools and their surrounding
communities. The Coalition strives to ensure that every
student learns and thrives in a safe, healthy environment
that inspires them to become stewards of the planet that
they will inherit.
The key initiative of 2014 was launching the Greenest
School in Canada competition with the goal of spreading
awareness of the benefits of green schools. The first winner
of the Greenest School in Canada was Dunbarton High
School in Pickering, Ontario. This school’s approach to
working with the community and weaving environmental
learning and innovation directly into the curriculum set
them apart from all other submissions.
Market Research ReportIn 2014, the CaGBC commissioned a research report from
McGraw Hill Construction that examined the current and
projected growth of the Canadian green building market,
its drivers and obstacles, and its impact on tenants and
occupants. The report, titled Canada Green Building Trends:
Benefits Driving the New and Retrofit Market, was the first
of its kind in Canada and was launched at the CaGBC’s
national conference and expo in Toronto. The research
was conducted to support the needs of government and
industry to better understand trends and developments
in the green building sector in Canada. It establishes the
CaGBC as a critical resource for providing market research
to help inform and guide the building sector.
Green Homes Summit With the goal of providing relevant green homes education
and customized insight for a regional audience, the first
Green Homes Summit was held by the Atlantic Chapter in
Halifax in October 2014 in partnership with the Sustainable
Housing Foundation. Other Summits took place in Toronto
and Alberta in early 2015. Well-attended by builders,
developers, architects, housing technologists and municipal
planners, this one-day event featured sessions on LEED for
Homes, Passive House, and other green housing related
topics such as rainwater management, mechanical systems,
and transitioning off the grid.

National Conference and ExpoBuilding Lasting Change was held in Toronto from June
2-4 and drew over 1000 attendees including international
delegates. The conference theme ‘Exploring the Value of
Green Building’ addressed leading-edge information on
the business case and performance of green buildings
and embraced the broader value proposition of building
green by exploring not just operational savings and
environmental impacts but also tenant retention, employee
productivity and job creation.
Notable highlights included keynote presentations by
Mike Pederson, President & CEO, TD Bank, America,
who launched the conference at the opening plenary
emphasizing the business sector interest and participation
in green building as part of corporate sustainability efforts.
Biologist and biomimicry expert, Janine Benyus delivered
a remarkable presentation at the Leadership Awards Gala
reminding everyone that the natural world already has
developed solutions over millions of years and that we
can learn from nature to reduce and even eliminate the
environmental footprint of buildings and neighbourhoods.
National SponsorshipThe CaGBC would like to thank our National sponsors for their support in 2014. National sponsors contribute
their support to Building Lasting Change and to other CaGBC initiatives at both the national and Chapter level.
Attendance in the international program doubled from
2013 with delegations from 13 countries learning from
local experts conducting green building tours, visiting
Toronto-area manufacturing facilities and participating
in over 100 business to business meetings. To make the
expo more accessible and to increase general awareness
of the industry, complimentary access to the Expo floor
was available in a successful effort to attract more people
to the event.
The second annual Legacy event was held at Alexandra
Park Community Centre in Toronto with the goal of making
a positive impact on the conference host city. With the
support of sponsors Bentall Kennedy, PCL Construction and
founding Legacy event partner Interface, CaGBC conference
delegates worked side by side with community residents of
all ages, City of Toronto and Toronto Community Housing
staff and the community centre’s Board of Directors.
The team weeded the community garden, built outdoor
benches, planted more than 100 neighbourhood flower
boxes and installed new tile carpet donated by Interface.
The initial investment from the CaGBC has helped the
centre to leverage additional funds to purchase new
computers and furniture for a new youth lounge.
